This card, named T-Money card and using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology, aimed to improve the public transportation system of Seoul by bringing different advantages to users such as the possibility to transfer freely between all the
transportation modes, removing the cash payment burden and time losses at the transportation gates and to enable the fleets in the public transportation system to better respect their schedules.
